Abstract

A virtual reality (VR) ride system comprising: a ride vehicle configured to support a rider and traverse a variable ride environment; an electronic display configured to present virtual reality, VR, image content to the rider carried through the variable ride environment by the ride vehicle; and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the electronic display and one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to record sensor data indicative of a movement profile of the ride vehicle in the variable ride environment, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to: receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors; determine a predicted ride vehicle trajectory of the ride vehicle within the variable ride environment based on the sensor data indicative of the movement profile of the ride vehicle and a ride vehicle movement prediction model, wherein the predicted ride vehicle trajectory corresponds to a predicted movement magnitude of the ride vehicle during a predicted movement duration; determine a target perceived movement magnitude that is greater than the predicted movement magnitude; and determine movement-exaggerated VR image content to be presented on the electronic display during the predicted movement duration by adjusting default image content to incorporate the target perceived movement magnitude.
